The conflict between Rod and Ron remains contentious after the Scandinavian quarter-final encounter at the French Open.
Now between father Christian Rudd and mother Aniki Ron.
Father is lying to the media, he’s overstepped, says Aneke Rune.
There were feelings of discomfort during and after the quarter among the 23-year-old Norwegian Casper Road and 19-year-old Dane Holger Rune at the French Open.
The two accused each other of provocative, unsportsmanlike behavior with different outbursts.
In the locker room after the match, he walked right up to me and yelled JAAAAA at me, says Holger Ron.
accused of lying
“It’s just a lie,” father and coach Christian Rudd replied in a text message to Norway’s NRK.
Mother Aneke Rune, who is traveling around the ATP Tour with her son, in turn responds to the great Danish site BT
– That’s right, says Holger. By the way, father was not there when it happened, he just left. He was just a fitness trainer or therapist there. It was while Holger was waiting for doping control, so Sr can’t comment on that. One thing is that he is yelling at my son, and the other thing is that the father is lying to the press. Aneke Rune says it’s a demeanor that has no bounds.
I think it has no taste
Eighth-ranked Casper Rudd won 3-1 (6-1, 4-6, 7-6, 6-3) against 40th-seeded Holger Ron.
– Otherwise, Casper’s talk was part of their tactical plan, I understand. People have written to me that they have publicly told him to go to Holger’s head, because they knew he was a passionate player. We should commend them for their success, says Aneke Rune, but being tasteless in the locker room afterwards doesn’t belong anywhere.
“You don’t know his problem.”
It continues to publish a text about the atmosphere of anger between the two camps.
– The boy could not say goodbye when he left, so he clearly had a problem that he himself started. His team from Nadal’s academy is very professional, but I don’t know what his problem is. He has to act right, says Aneke Rune, and as a top ten player you can count on youngsters following their lead, but of course Rudd hasn’t been in the top ten for long either.
The semi-finals will be held at Roland Garros in Paris on Friday: Kasper Ruud – Marin Cilic and Rafael Nadal – Alexander Zverev.
This is the first time a Norwegian men’s singles player has gone this far in a Grand Slam tournament.
